Certainly not milled. That's for sure. IWD furniture? If so... I'd give him $775 for it. Think of it this way.... $775 - $160ish for the furniture if its IWD... so you are buying a MAK90 for $615.... yep, I'd buy that.

Does not appear to have a cleaning rod which would more likely not have the lugs.

Eh, I sold my first AK ever, a MAK-90 to get a SAR-1 and had no regrets. I couldn't be happy with the neutered barrel parts and it was above my ability at the time to swap those out. The SAR-1 just needed to have the barrel threaded. It's not a big deal to some, but it was like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I later picked up an NHM-90 and converted it. I'll never part with it. I acquired quite an affinity for chinese AKs after that, they're very well built, but probably won't buy another unless it's a preban.

Posted: 5/4/2012 3:46:38 AM [Last Edit: 5/4/2012 3:57:45 AM by clange] You're basically correct; you can't have assembled the firearm in that configuration. Does inserting a magazine constitute assembly though? They would probably say it does, if they wanted to be jerks. So every time you put a mag in the gun you assemble a new weapon. After all, it has a new 922r count. I'd say it better be compliant with 922r. Yes I know no ones ever been prosecuted for 922r, but I want to follow the law 100%.

Yes I know no ones ever been prosecuted for 922r, but I want to follow the law 100%. Inserting a mag is not assembling a weapon. As long as you personally didn't convert the gun from thumbhole stock, to it's current configuration, it's perfectly legal to own, & you are following the law 100%. GARY N4KVE

I wouldnt do that.Keep the Chinese wood on that rifle.Value will go down considerably without the Chinese wood.
